The following patches may be applied to other programs to allow them to operate better with plptools. mgetty-1.1.21-plp.diff is from Christof Meerwald, and adds autodetection support for the PLP-protocol to mgetty - thus mgetty can autodetect a Psion connected to the serial port and execute ncpd (with the autoexit option). Having mgetty watch the serial port makes it a lot more easy to switch between a PLP (file transfer) and a PPP (TCP/IP) connection. Christof used the following login.conf for mgetty: /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd /PLP/ - - /usr/sbin/ncpd -d -e * - - /bin/login @ -- MJG
